I see your point maybe in an other context it's work. But W is the only piece with that name in bulldog chess and so certainly is the most popular in this context.
Giga Dog Tournament Game (musketeerchess2017 - JamesAgadir)
Sort:
We don't try to come up with notation that could differentiate all variant pieces, but rather the pieces that is used in the same game. In this case, W can only refer to the witch.
@musketeerchess2017, do you want update diagrams (which is possible with the board painter) or do you want me to update the diagrams with the current position?
ok, will do.

WFB = Waiting For Board. James wanted to see a board with the current position before making his next move. It is still James move.
